Description
A quick and easy recipe for a cheesy pepperoni pizza quesadilla, perfect for a fast meal or snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces Flour tortillas (8 to 10 inch works best)
- 15 slices Pepperoni (classic slices, turkey pepperoni also works)
- 1 cup Mozzarella (shredded melts the easiest)
- 1 tablespoon Marinara or pizza sauce (for dipping, and a tiny bit inside if you want)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan (optional, but adds that pizza shop taste)
- 1 pinch Italian seasoning or oregano
- 1 tablespoon Butter or olive oil for crisping the tortilla
Optional Add-Ons
- 1/4 cup Sliced black olives (Optional topping)
- 1/4 cup Diced bell pepper (Optional topping)
- 1/4 cup Mushrooms (Optional topping)
- a few leaves Basil (Optional topping)
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat your pan. Put a skillet on medium heat. Let it warm up for a minute.
- Build the quesadilla. Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle mozzarella over half, add pepperoni, and a little more cheese on top.
- If using sauce inside, add a very small amount away from the edges.
- Fold the tortilla over like a half moon.
- Add butter or oil to the pan and place the quesadilla down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Rest for 1 minute on a cutting board, then slice and serve with warm marinara.
Notes
For crispiest results, use medium heat and do not overstuff the quesadilla. Let it rest before slicing to prevent cheese from sliding out.
